Music Video Vendredi – Gotye’s ‘Easy Way Out’

Share

So, I tastefully refrained from posting Gotye’s viral ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ when it came out, because the entire world had already played the shit out of it by the time I could have. (Disadvantage to posting only on Friday – most new videos are released on Tuesday). I DID go out and purchase Gotye’s record immediately, as I suspected there might be some gems hidden on there. (And by “go out and purchase” I meant opened the iTunes app on my phone and tapped ‘download’).

Turns out I was right! (Well, at least that’s my opinion.)

I fell in LOVE with this record – and this track specifically – so I was really pumped to see they’d chosen it as their second video release. The visuals in their first release were stunning, for the record, and this one doesn’t disappoint. I feel like it’s a fitting Friday tune – heavy on the synth and moderately depressing lyrics – but full of ultra cool stop-motion animation. It’s simplistic, yet visually captivating. I’m a fan.
